Thirty-seven students from two American colleges, including 24 from Middlebury College, are safe in Europe after Global Rescue security teams evacuated them from Alexandria, Egypt on Monday night. They were transported to Prague aboard a Boeing 737 and from there were preparing to return to their home airports via commercial flights.

Earlier, Global Rescue extracted the first employees of an American company from Cairo on Sunday afternoon. Security teams collected the foreign nationals from various points around the capital and then evacuated them via fixed-wing aircraft to Jordan. From there they were transported to London and to Boston.

Global Rescue has deployed security teams to Egypt to provide security, transport and extraction services for several hundred clients in the country. The teams are led by special operations veterans that include former Navy SEALs and members of the Navy’s Special Warfare Command.
